Artifact Overview
The H.J. Heinz Company had humble beginnings in 1869 when its founder began selling horseradish out his parents' home in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania. With a rapidly expanding product line and extensive marketing, the Heinz brand became a household name by the turn of the century. Its main plant in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (seen here), was known as the "Home of the 57" and offered tours for visitors.
